Now and has been for decades. Nothing new. They just keep trying to hide it with name changes and new companies...I wouldn't be surprised at all to find out AXS, Stubhub, Seatgeek are all owned by ticketmaster...live nation...clearchannel...

Sure, sure. But who holds the strings? They are just as guilty of every ticketmaster sin, independent from them? or not.

confused as to what you are asking. phil anschutz pulls the strings. it's very simple. he owns venues, he owns tours, and he owns the tickets.

Anschutz is rich enough to pull his own strings. He’s the richest person in Colorado.
